    How to Start Locs with Two Strand Twists – Two-strand twist dreadlocks

    October 3, 2019 /

If thick locs are your heart’s desire then starting locs with two-strand twist…

Before, I used many different products for moisturizing and sealing. But I have stopped using many of them because they contain chemicals which I no longer use. I am in the process of searching for and creating natural hair products that contain little to no harsh and toxic chemicals.
